Hiscox Ltd
(the 'Company')
Notification of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities ('PDMR')
Hamilton, Bermuda (30 May 2023) - On 23 May 2023 awards ("Awards") were made
to Executive Directors pursuant to the Company's Performance Share Plan
("Performance Share Plan"), to acquire ordinary 6.5p shares ("Shares") in the
Company.
The Awards granted to the Executive Directors are subject to performance
conditions measured over the three financial years from 1 January 2023 to 31
December 2026.
The performance measures for the Executive Directors will be as set out in the
annual report on remuneration in the Annual Report, with 50% of the awards
based net asset value (NAV) plus dividends targets averaged over the three
performance years, and 50% based on relative total shareholder return (TSR)
against a group of the Company's closest listed peers.
The performance conditions for NAV plus dividends-related element of the
Awards are measured against the growth in NAV plus dividends, on a per share
basis, and will not vest if the growth in NAV plus dividends per share is less
than $0.43 per annum. 20% of the award will vest if the growth in NAV plus
dividends per share is equal to $0.43 per annum, rising on a straight-line
basis up to a maximum of 100% vesting if the growth in NAV plus dividends per
share is equal to or exceeds $1.28 per annum.
The performance conditions for the TSR-related element of the Awards are
measured against relative TSR. The relative TSR condition assesses the
Company's share price and dividend performance relative to that of the
comparator group of companies made up of the Company's closest listed peers
over the three year performance period. 20% of the award will vest if
performance is at the median, rising on a straight-line basis up to a maximum
of 100% if the performance is in the upper quartile based on ranking.
Subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions, Awards will vest on
15 May 2026. The Awards granted to the Executive Directors are subject to a
further two year holding period.
Details of the number of Shares over which Awards were granted are set out in
